Dear Juno or anyone that might be in same position,
My name is Michael Villalpando I am 17 years old. I want to start this letter off with saying whatever decision you make; it is under no circumstance going to be any easy one. I don’t say this to try and intimidate you; I simply want you to be ready and as prepared as you can for this new journey. I am not here to judge you nor am I here to try to put you down but on that note, the decision you have made of having premarital sex, and un-protected sex when your not ready for a child was irresponsible and a bit selfish. I do fall in the category of being of the Catholic faith, which does mean I do not encourage anyone in participating in premarital sex but I understand it is illogical to think all people believe in what I do. Yes you had sex and yes you got pregnant and like anyone in that situation you begin to weigh your options. And for the sake of anyone that might not completely understand all of their options here are your choices, one of the most obvious ones is keeping the child but with that decision comes many other options. One being is choosing to keep your child raise he/she probably with the help of your parents and probably having to make a couple sacrifices, such as not being able to not go out with friends and not having much free time. Once again I don’t say this to frighten you I just need you to be prepared. Another option one that I suggest if you do not think you can handle the responsibility of a child is adoption. There are many organizations and many loving and ready parents that would love to take your child into their lives. There are options that you can negotiate to still see your baby a couple times a year, or to just completely hand your child over and end it there. Your last option is one that I would never want but feel obligated to inform you about and that is having an abortion. Many people might say that within your uterus lays nothing more than a fetus, I disagree on this because when that sperm meets with that lonely egg at that moment, a child is in the earliest stages of developing into a living breathing human being. At that moment there are 46 chromosomes present, where 44 are normal and the other two join together to decide the sex of the baby. At that moment the sex of the baby is decided the whole existence of that babies being has been decided when those chromosomes bond, the color of the child’s hair, the option of that child being bald by the age of 20 like his father or having a head full of hair like his mother has been genetically decided. To say a developing human within a woman’s uterus is not a child is to say a 13 year old girl going through puberty, getting her first period, developing her sexual reproduction systems further is not human. Although this is my stance on the situation it is your right to choose. If you truly find it necessary to get an abortion or feel it would be easiest then it is your right under the 14 amendment that you be allowed that abortion. Going back to the beginning of this letter I’m not judging you, whatever decision you make I respect to the fullest. Like I said whichever path you decide to take and I emphasize “YOU” because you make the decision it is not going to be an easy path. There are going to be many ups and downs with whatever you decide on, some more than others but one thing I want and need you to know is that whatever your decision you make it is the right one. I don’t want you to go through your life regretting your decision, so when you make your final choice, know you will live with that choice forever.
